A review by lisacerezo
The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay

4.0

The pacing of this story was a little odd at times. I’ll admit I skipped past large sections that felt like some kind of required description of the physical scene before getting back to the plot itself. That said, it had good moments of suspense as well, and a fair amount of dread. Mild spoiler, but one passage in particular took me back to 9/11 and I was not prepared for that. Should be obvious from the description, but there is considerable peril directed at a child, which was also difficult for me. I read this mainly because it was the source material for an upcoming Shyamalan movie, so I think I expected a bit different of an ending for the book. Will be interesting to see how the film adaptation plays out.
